A coat of Tamiya clear green on the center windscreen would really pull things together. The F-14’s HUD data projects directly on to a clear green acrylic panel on the inner surface of the center windscreen.

When I worked on these aircraft in the early 80's, they were several years old, but the landing gear and wheel wells were pristine white. We washed every exposed surface regularly as a corrosion control measure. We are talking aluminum alloys in a humid, salt air environment! If any officer had seen actual landing gear in your "weathered condition" there would have been a line of people waiting for their turn to be epically chewed out and had performance eval's downgraded if not transferred out. I was already uncomfortable with the excessive level of panel edge weathering, but the landing gear put me over the top.

I'm mainly into RC cars so far, but i'd love to get into aviation. One thing people love to do with cars is speed runs. Do aviation folks get into speed runs? I'd guess a model of this size, with powerful turbines, and enough structural rigidity could reach some serious speeds. Particularly with a functioning swing wing.

@thelightersideofrc 21 күн бұрын

The Aviation side is a hoot! So much to learn! Yes guys definitely get into speed runs! The large scale jets won't be very fast. The sports jets that are small, sleek and over powered can be mind blowing fast. 300+ MPH is realistic!

What a Beautiful F14! my favorite aircraft of all time and the best the Navy ever had. I can not wait to see this thing fly. maybe there could be a way later on for the tail cones to flare up when it goes into afterburner and then to regular fly mode when afterburner is off. didn't notice if there was a landing light on the nose gear. over all it is a beautiful work on this aircraft. good job well done!!

The battery holder has ridges all around the holder so it's not going to go anywhere. I suspect we will also add a small piece of velcro on the holder but was avoiding adding anything un necessary for the weight limit.
